Default [OT] Is there an update app software package change betweenWin 7 and XP?

I'm just a baaad guy posting here. Shame on me. :-) I'm sure you can get
XP app updates, and I can get them as part of the auto-update mechanism.
What neither of us can do is get an upgrade from say PPT 2003 to 2007.
No more upgrades on apps. Good luck if you can find one. I'm in the USA.
Perhaps mileage varies.

(dispite the fact you admit to using Win7 and post to an XP-discussion
group) I am using WinXP with Office 2003 and *still* get regular updates
for Office!

I suspect that you have either not configured Windows Update correctly
or perhaps are not displaying "Updates" in the "Add or Remove Programs"
(or "Programs and Features" in Win7).

My Win 7 Office 2007 program repeatedly crashes trying to do a simple

product. Is it the case that MS only provides auto updates? That is, no
manual updates. I can't even find info on the last update of the product
in the Win7 version of Add/Remove product.


I think I'm right about this. I hung onto XP until about a year ago
then moved to W7. Marketing has changed. There are no upgrades any
more. PPt 2007 is basically dead, but MS does has paid tech support.
If the problem I had cannot be solved, I get to buy the new 2010 PPt.
